B-Complex Trace mineral symptoms of excess or deficiency are generally one-sided, depending on their ratios to other chemical members, and depending which group they are neurologically assigned to.  In the event of calcification, it is not a high calcium level that results in the formation of a stone or spur, but calcium being high in ratio to associated or interactive elements. For instance, phosphorus and zinc have both left-sided cell receptors, so if either level is low in ratio to calcium, calcification would only take place on the left side of the body, whereas the cell receptors of manganese or magnesium are right-sided, as a result, any calcification would develop on the right side

Back to Top General Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Information Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that attacks nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually lead to their death. When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. With all voluntary muscle action affected, patients in the later stages of the disease become totally paralyzed. Yet, through it all, for the vast majority of people, their minds remain unaffected. Amyotrophic comes from the Greek language. "A" means no or negative. "Myo" refers to muscle, and "Trophic" means nourishment "No muscle nourishment." When a muscle has no nourishment, it "atrophies" or wastes away. "Lateral" identifies the areas in a person's spinal cord where portions of the nerve cells that nourish the muscles are located. As this area degenerates it leads to scarring or hardening (sclerosis) in the region.

Given that vitamin E is an antioxidant, the new findings support the hypothesis that oxidants play a key role in the development of ALS. Moreover, the results are consistent with earlier findings showing that increased brain levels of vitamin E seem to delay the onset of ALS in lab animals. Still, use of another antioxidant , vitamin C, seemed to confer no protection against ALS, the report in the Annals of Neurology indicates. In the study, Dr. Alberto Ascherio, from Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, and colleagues analyzed data from nearly 1 million subjects enrolled in the American Cancer Society's Cancer Prevention Study II. All of the subjects were at least 30 years of age when the study began in 1982. Information on vitamin E use was collected at enrollment and the subjects were followed from 1989 through 1998. During follow-up, 525 deaths from ALS were recorded, the investigators note.

*** NEWS FROM ALSA: ALS RESEARCH ALERT ALS Prevalence Studies Underway Near Hazardous Waste Sites People with ALS encouraged to identify themselves in study areas August 3, 2004 Responding to community concerns, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), a public health agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is funding an environmental health program to determine the prevalence of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in areas surrounding hazardous waste sites in five states. The neurodegenerative disease, commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease, attacks nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord resulting in muscle weakness and atrophy. Patients usually survive between two and five years from the time of diagnosis. Researchers are focusing on communities near hazardous waste sites in Illinois Massachusetts Missouri Texas and Washington . Separate studies also are ongoing to determine the prevalence of multiple sclerosis (MS) in Missouri Illinois Texas Washington Massachusetts and Ohio The ALS Association (ALSA) and its network of chapters is providing assistance in these studies through the coordination of efforts to identify people with ALS in the study areas. In most cases, patients are being identified through their neurologists.

Posted February 15, 2003 in Commentary from www.rideforlife.com By Ken O'Donnell, Advocate for a cure for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis(Lou Gehrig's Disease) Email- kjoadvocate@aol.com I. Preface I am outraged, as you should be if you or someone you love has Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (aka ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease, and motor neuron disease). It has been 134 years from Dr. Charcot's discovery and analysis of the disease to the present. Yet ALS still has no known cause, cure or truly effective treatment. What other fatal disease that affects all races and both sexes has fared so badly? In the past ten years, the US has experienced a massive increase in health care spending. For example, during the past year research spending on AIDS, heart disease, and cancer totaled about $24 billion, out of $45 billion spent on research by the drug industry and NIH. During the same period, ALS research spending was about $15 million. Research spending is the absolute key to find that cure for this disease. Further, no one has a diagnostic test for determining if someone has this fatal disease. As a result, it takes thirteen months on average to diagnose. It has been estimated that between 20%-60% of a person's motor neurons have already died by the time the disease is diagnosed.

Helping people take charge of their health Introduction Order Manuals Order Consultation Natural Therapies ... Home Page Lipitor, Neuromuscular Degeneration, and Recovery Numerous adverse side effect reports have implicated Lipitor and other statin drugs as a probable cause for severe neuromuscular degeneration. Some people who have been using Lipitor for as little as six months report symptoms similar to Muscular Dystrophy, Parkinson's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis or ALS - Lou Gehrig's Disease - in which they are losing neuromuscular control of their bodies or losing significant muscle mass. Others have reported serious liver damage. Still others have been told that they have nvCJD, the human equivalent of mad cow disease. For instance, in an article entitled "Life After Lipitor" that appeared in the newspaper Tahoe World on January 27, 2004, Tahoe City (California) resident Doug Peterson began having serious neuromuscular problems after taking Lipitor for two years. He began losing muscular coordination and slurring words when he spoke. Then he lost balance, followed by loss of fine motor skills - he had difficulty writing. He went from doctor to doctor, trying to figure out what could be happening. Finally one doctor suggested that he stop taking Lipitor, and the downward health spiral

About the SCRP Svendsen Lab Zhang Lab Staff ... Waisman Center About the Svendsen Laboratory Neural stem cells are cells isolated from developing brain that are destined to become the different cells of the brain. Unlike embryonic stem (ES) cells, neural stem cells cannot be directed to become other tissue cells, such as pancreas and heart. The Svendsen lab uses these neural stem cells to study: 1) how the brain develops and 2) how these cells can be manipulated to be used as therapeutics for neurodegenerative disease. Brain Development So much is yet unknown about how the brain develops. By isolating and studying neural stem cells in the culture dish, we can examine the steps these cells take to become the mature cells of the brain. We can grow human neural stem cells for long periods of time and can direct them to form nerve cells as well as glia, or supporting cells of the brain. We also use this culture system to model brain development in developmental disabilities such as Down Syndrome and Fragile X. In both of these syndromes, mistakes in brain development lead to mental retardation. For example, by comparing the development of control neural stem cells to those that carry Trisomy 21, we can learn about what may be different in brain development in Down Syndrome and learn more about brain development in general. Neural stem cells are also being genetically engineered to carry genetic mutations that cause neurodegenerative diseases, such as Huntington's Disease and ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). We can then study the behavior of these neural stem cells to discover why these cells die during disease.

A Creation Myth For The Twenty-First Century by Charles T. Butler, PhD In January 2003, my prescribing psychiatrist suggested that I drop my depression medication. He said he didn't understand it, but I didn't need it anymore. In February, I permanently stopped using the bright-light therapy I had used for fifteen years from October through April to combat the depression of seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Things were looking good. On the second of May, 2003, my world forever changed. A series of tests at George Washington University finally verified the unthinkable. The muscle jerks I had experienced for almost two years were the vanguard of more serious problems, those due to ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease. I continued using the Hemi-Sync® CDs. Over a period of two or three weeks, the fear, anger, self-pity, and depression I felt at first was replaced by renewed spiritual balance, an ability to contemplate my situation without fear or self-pity, and a determination to "go out with grace." Eighteen months after being diagnosed with ALS, despite a series of devastating falls, loss of most of the use of my hands and arms, and recently moving into a wheelchair, I still am able to maintain a positive attitude, contemplate my situation without fear or self-pity, and keep my determination to go out with grace. As my disease has progressed, I have discovered that I must set aside time to mourn my losses, but I have also learned to embrace ALS as my teacher, as the means by which I will learn life's last, greatest lessons.

Lacatation Center Sunday, September 18, 2005 9:26 AM EDT Neurologists at the Memorial Regional Hospital Neuroscience Center of Excellence diagnose and non-surgically treat disorders of the nervous system, from migraine headaches to muscular dystrophy. Some other common problems that neurologists diagnose and treat are stroke, epilepsy, dementia, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease. Among the Neurosciences Center's specialized neurological tests are CAT (computerized axial tomography) scans, MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), spinal taps and EEG (electroencephalography). Electromyography/nerve conduction velocity testing (EMG/NCV) helps to diagnose nerve and muscle problems, and sleep EEGs allow neurologists to evaluate nerve patterns in adults and children who might be experiencing seizure activity while asleep. Another test, Somato Sensory Evoked Potential, uses painless electrical stimulation to help evaluate the extent and location of nerves damaged by disease or trauma. Our neurologists use many types of medications to treat problems. Other specialists may be consulted or a surgical evaluation suggested.
